Lilies of the Valley

---

It is May, my favorite month (My other favorite is October. Interestingly, both months are dedicated to Mary.) May is the month of lilies of the valley, one of my three favorite flowers. The only thing about lilies of the valley in my yard is that they can be overlooked in an often busy month. Before you know it, they are gone, which is a reminder to slow down our pace a bit and take in the beauties this month has to offer. Here is a bouquet—to celebrate to really notice the small details nature offers in brief, perfect bursts, “to see their light upon the spring”.
